Two evaluations for the Government of Georgia and AFD:

• Mid-term evaluation of an AFD policy-based loan in the energy sector in Georgia. The evaluation focussed on the formulation of the policy-based loan and its effects on policy formulation and implementation (AFDTB_2022_CZZ1356_01).
• Joint ex-post evaluation of an AFD policy-based loan in the health and social welfare sectors in Georgia. AFD and Government of Georgia jointly carried out this ex-post evaluation. This evaluation assessed whether some areas of policy supported through the policy-based loan (PBL) resulted in the expected outcomes and linked the changes to the PBL (AFDTBI_2022_CZZ1356_01).

The overall objective of the project was to support third countries in building up their capacity to carry out RPBAs (Recovery and Peace-Building Assessments) and PDNAs (Post-Disaster Needs Assessments), through provision of technical expertise. Activities included deployment of experts in RPBA/PDNA missions, and provision of training and capacity building activities to national authorities and regional/international organizations, tripartite training events, as well as information sessions for EU entities.

The main task is to process the knowledge generated by the evaluations to precisely facilitate decision-making. The goals are:
- To improve evidence of effectiveness
- To enhance credibility of evaluation findings
- To gear project evaluations to new challenges

This action aimed to contribute to further strengthening the EU-India strategic partnership by supporting
the existing sectoral policy dialogues in key priority areas for bilateral cooperation. It also sought to identify and explore additional sectors in which mutual interest exists for enhancing the EU India relations and thus contribute to further development of the growing bilateral relations. Through a mix of research, specialised technical assistance, awareness raising, organisation of events, production of promotional material and technical exchanges, it acted as the EU’s horizontal facility in India and help translate policy commitments agreed at the level of annual EU-India Summits and sectoral policy dialogues into follow-up actions.

The main objectives of this evaluation were to provide the relevant EU services and interested stakeholders with

The evaluation of the WFP Interim Country Strategy Plan (ICSP) in Syria assessed the strategic positioning, added-value and results of WFP operations in the country from 2018 to 2023.
The evaluation served the double purpose of accountability (performance and result assessment) and learning (why certain results occurred or not, lessons and evidence for decision-making). It is envisioned to enable the Syria WFP Country Office (CO) to use the evidence on past and current performance for the design of the new Syria CSP. The early findings of the CSPE also fed into the development of the extension of the ICSP until end of 2024.
